DLTK's Crafts for KidsSpicy Hamburgers

Thanks to Shantelle for sending this in!

I typically use store bought hamburger patties, but when we have a big backyard BBQ, the kids and I like to get our hands a bit messy making our
own. They love to pat the patties into shape and brag to grandma and grandpa about the job well done.

Ingredients:

3 pounds ground hamburger

2 tablespoons seeded, chopped jalapeno peppers

1 tablespoon chili powder

3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar or monteray jack cheese

2 tomatoes

12 hamburger buns

Combine hamburger, peppers and chili powder and shape into 1/2 inch patties (it should make 12).

Slice tomatoes into thin slices (about 12)

BBQ until no longer pink (about 15 minutes). During the last minute, sprinkle each pattie with cheese.
